How to make an art easel, portable desk for laptop, or projector stand…
I make my drawing easels out of photo tripods
WHY?
-lighter and easier to set up than French easel
- less footprint
-adjustable re; tilt and height
HOW
Find a heavy duty tripod. Used is an option. Most important; tilt mechanism should stay firm.
Either use the ‘head, by drilling from it’s plate into board… either
a.    Thick enough like ‘11x14 or I like 14+x14 +so I can turn 11x14 paper either way. OR
b.    B. Thin board like ¼”luan or masonite, with a 1x4 cleat to screw into. The cleat can be screwed or bolted where the heads wont be in the way
-If you remove tripod head you can attach a slanting unit to the pole. Like https://www.toolsplus.com/kraft-tool-cc800.html?gclid=CjwKCAiA1uKMBhAGEiwAxzvX93dxAtruByubg0_grSAfbE82eVQzUgHYgnl2iS05zRaZ5VoT9aXkcBoC-_0QAvD_BwE
OR a home flagpole bracket https://www.google.com/search?q=1+in.+Adjustable++Flagpole+Bracket&client=firefox-b-1-d&channel=cus5&ei=C3uZYf2MNs_btAam6Y9w&ved=0ahUKEwi9vqjugqj0AhXPLc0KHab0Aw4Q4dUDCA4&uact=5&oq=1+in.+Adjustable++Flagpole+Bracket&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAMyBQgAEM0CMgUIABDNAjIFCAAQzQIyBQgAEM0COgcIABBHELADSgQIQRgAUPMEWPskYPYyaAFwAngAgAFiiAGWApIBATOYAQCgAQHIAQjAAQE&sclient=gws-wiz
Possible problem; If tripod pole is diff than slant unit hollow pole, you must adapt. I use Velcro to thicken pole.

Another option from the music world…
